VOV.VN - The Ha Long Bay Management board is reminding tourist boat operators to ensure their workplaces are safe for tourists and employees noting 340 citations have been issued so far this year for violations.

Officials said two of the boats were fined for letting tourists sit on the side rails of the vessels and numerous others for illegal towing of smaller boats that were carrying passengers.
Among the more thoroughly disgusting violations was that of a boat operator who was driving the vessel with his feet, which not surprisingly resulted in more than one accident.
The Management Board has not disclosed the penalties doled out for the violations.
Currently, around 500 tourist boats operate daily at the bay.
